Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle What may be most disappointing here is that it's another wasted role for [Dolph] Lundgren as Anders, the elder statesman muscle of the heroes. Rated: 1.5/5 Apr 27, 2023 Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times It’s an unambitious Die Hard clone with likable actors, aimed at audiences looking for something adequate. Apr 25, 2023 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com I don’t have a lot of nice things to say about The Best Man. It isn’t very good. Rated: 1.5/4 Apr 21, 2023 Full Review Patricia Karounos Refinery29 The Best Man is also just as much about the authentic, life-like friendships between Harper and the rest of his college circle... Oct 23, 2023 Full Review Scout Tafoya The Spool It’s the rare movie with nothing to offer. Jun 14, 2023 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews I think the viewers who would best enjoy such a trifle are the rabid fans of Dolph Lundgren, who would see anything he's in.

Audience Member Action movie has no action for at least a quarter of the time. I can’t finish watching it. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/06/24 Full Review Audience Member what a waste of talent for Dolph and Luke. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/10/24 Full Review Paul J. Q Incredibly dumb. One of those movies that's painful to watch and on the cusp of being so bad as to be memorable - - - but not quite. The actors are fine (although there was clearly a budgetary limit on "takes") but the script is nonsensical. The characters take actions that no rational person would take in order to set up "dramatic", clichéd confrontations. This is what you get when the writer, director, and producer are all the same guy. (At least he paid for some talent. [For their sakes, I hope he paid a lot.]) Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/31/24 Full Review Terri D Can't even imagine why anyone wanted to make this film, let alone watch it! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/26/24 Full Review Gen X So disappointing even with all the popular stars in it. The first half of the movie is atrociously boring. There is no tension or mysteries or twists with the characters or plot or setting or weapons. It is, after all, an action movie. But the action is so slow and rote and uninspired, it's hard to believe these characters were actually in the military. The villains were one-dimensional and lackluster. I'm mad at Hulu for actually purchasing this film. I enjoyed "Shotgun Wedding" more, even though it was an action comedy with the same plot - armed gunmen take wedding guests hostage. I wish I hadn't wasted my time on this movie. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/29/24 Full Review Audience Member Absolutely horrendous Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/12/24 Full Review Read all reviews
